Switched my power options to high performance so it's set to never go to
sleep - only to turn off the display in 20 minutes.

Thanks Charles. I had been hoping to troubleshoot without calling thei
techs but looks like I'm down to that

On every Vista computer I've seen so far, pressing the <Space> bar once
has been sufficient, but consult the manufacturer of your specific
computer to determine if they've set some special key combination for
this purpose. You should also check your power management settings to
see if there might be various options available there.
